  1. Amazing article...once again !

    Just two little corrections (clerical errors) : When Word Gets Around is taken from the album Watershed, and it's Adele and Glenn not Adele and Graham, of course.

  4. I want to make mention of a band and album that Robert Vickers was apart of. That’s the Mad Scene. That was Hamish Kilgore of The Clean’s band. Here’s the track “choose” from their 1995 album “Sealight”. Good stuff. https://youtu.be/sXyTDoSnT-Y
